This is exactly what I expected when I clicked on this thread. I can appreciate the time and effort, but I can't help thinking it's just a weird look for this kind of car. And alot of them seem to have paint-related issues.

Hey I use black versions of those mirrors, they suit the y better than door mounting vitaloni California mirrors

I got a good laugh out of those lists, but unfortunately it seems easier to find a Datsun with those mods than it is to find one without them in Australia.

Each to their own though, I'm sure a heap of people that prefer that look to what I like judging by what's for sale on Australian sale sites.

Thats some good observations DD
I will just add some more
(x)Custom tardy dash
(x)modern seats
(x)Modern steering wheel
(x)colour coded dash
(x)door mirrors from Kmart or supercheap auto
(x)stereo system butchery throughout
(x)door trims from leftovers
(x)aero add ons from battlestar galactica
(x)fanta orange and other ADM taxi inks

and more but you pointed to the checkerplate cladding nicely
its the overdone factor that many Aussies dont grasp but also
this trend occurs in Souf Afrika, US & other countries.

ironically that those mirrors would actually suit some ADM taxi or even a collectible Torana slr or muscle car from smaller makers as well eg detomaso.

There arent any shortage of options for USDM, ADM, IDM, DDM, UKDM and JDM
but mixing them up does not often work out as timeless pieces of art.

Yet JDM mixing with other euro makes accessories has more success
as the Japanese borrowed heavily from euro designs.

DDM is on its own really as Benz, BMW and VW are just more efficiency in styling. The German efforts are now favored by many consumers.

Is this what you mean?
(x) Large Rims
(x) Monochrome-painted grille
(x) shaved indicators
(x) clear front lens
(x) diamond plate tray

the finish is a fine example of ADM compared to JDM
opposite of USA Muscle classics riced up Asian style
